I did a cushion cover & put in the insert I used a pattern from Quilterscache the pattern is Starflower it very much like a Christmas Star Pattern on other sites or on Pinterest I put in Christmas Star Quilt Block & you can see some images of some Here

I also did a Table Runner which is the Last Minute Table Runner you can find the Tutorial on YouTube there is variations of this as well I put in 10 minute table runner & came up with these LINKS ignore the first couple of ones on the list lol

So enough chatter here is the photos there is one of the cushion & two of the runner

Christmas is coming & today we went to Milton Keynes which is a shopping centre/mall they had their Christmas bits out so took a few photos with my phone so not great shots

This is just a little taster of what was there at Christmas is the one time I wish for a small one that still believe in the magic of Christmas & all that goes with it

Now days it all about sales & pushing the goods so it don't have to go in to the sales & a lot of people don't even think hand-made items is worth having they don't realise that it can be more expensive to do an hand-made item than just going out to buy something or give money

I think making something for someone gives me a lovely feeling I am putting all my love & prayers in to it even if it don't always come out quite as I expected or wanted

We soon be in to December & the final countdown to the Big Day I have been tempted to put up the Christmas tree for a week or so but that because I have been watching Christmas films

I am knitting a pair of socks at present for DH will possible do a few other small bits this side of the year as come the New Year I start my Gift Stash.

What this you may be asking well I try to do at least 1 gift each month be it knitted or quilted some months if I have worked on a large project for more than a month I may not get something done but then there be months where I do more than one item so it balances out

May be you like to think about joining me I will share more towards the end of the year

I will also be sharing some gifts I done recently that I Haven't shown so keep tuning in

You may be asking why I put that as a title of this BlogWell Farewell Mr Kringle is a film in it a reporter called Annabelle stays in the town of Mistletoe at the Holiday Inn nothing much there but there is a quilt on her bed that I fell in love with & have wanted to do for years.

I taken some shots from the TV so you have an idea what the quilt I needed to one to see the pillows second was the border

Photos are not great but it gives you an idea i had previously done some designs on my EQ so the below images are ones I have created NOT DONE but it gives you an idea of what I have thought so apart from the border I think I have the pattern right

For those who are following my KYO (Keep Your Own) Block of the Month well I have done November's on it is Contrary Wife which is on Quilterscache

I have used the same 3 colours as I have used in previous Months I will as I have said before using these 3 colours or 2 if the block calls only for 2 colours

If you look at earlier postings you will see the blocks I have done I started doing the blocks since May 2015 & will finish in April 2016

I will say for some reason the way it shown the width should be the length & length is the width so look at it from the side so the top middle Red points to Middle Left, & Left Middle to Bottom Middle hope that clear
